Vintage hunks you wanted to bone in glorious black and white

You've posted a photos of [bold]a child,[/bold] OP.

Well, ask the webmaster to delete the thread if you're so offended.

Wally looks about 14 in OP's photo.

Still, that was from fifty-some years ago. I don't see any particular harm in OP fantasizing about boning black and white young adolescent Wally. OP was probably the same age when the fantasy first took root.

While I agree that, in general, lusting after teens is pretty gross, there's no doubt that the producers of Leave it To Beaver knew EXACTLY what they were doing by casting Tony Dow - something they fully exploited in the show's later years. When I was in middle school in the 90s, Leave it To Beaver used to air in reruns all the time. Even at that age, I thought the show was so ridiculously sanitized, but the older brother definitely got my attention, to.

The GLORIOUS Clint Walker.....can't remember where I read it or who the quote was from but some actress from the era recounted that although Paul Newman and James Dean were good looking, in person they just didn't have a strong physical presence. However, she said when Clint entered a room EVERYBODY, men,women,potted palms would just stop what they were doing and stare.

And for you OTS and arm carry fetishists....advance to 1:40.

Bless you, r5. Mr. Walker was an early fantasy when I was a gayling(yes, we existed way back then) Handsome, built, hairy(enough), that voice, forceful yet restrained, Clint had it all. Sigh ......

Robert Conrad

Hot,handsome and probably HUNG, Hugh O'Brien.

The beautiful Guy Madison

Hunky little Dewey Martin. Yum.

NOTHING touched the winking, knowledgable homoeroticism of LARAMIE, or the glory of Robert Fuller's glorious curves.

Bulging Ricky Nelson in Rio Bravo.

Speaking of Robert Fuller….

I always thought The Professor (Russell Johnson) was hot, too. I only recall a brief moment on Gilligan's Island where his shirt was open and we got to see his lean physique. Make some electricity, Professor!

The infamous Tony Dow (on a boat) beefcake shot - "dumb young man being seduced."

R11 I second that!

R1, does this one stimulate your dirty mind?

Jan-Michael Vincent

Come on, R1, he's older than my dad!

Along with 'The Wild Wild West,' the sillier 'Green Hornet' action duo of Guy Williams and Bruce Lee led me and a boyhood pal to reenact the stories in our playroom. I wish we'd gone further with the "I'm tied up! Help me!" stuff. He later got into SM in adult life.

I also wanted a cool apartment with walls that flipped and transformed into other rooms, like the set, because I'm a design queen.

R20 You mean Van Williams, right?

Van Williams and Robert Conrad playing with balls.

Oops! Yes, Van!

Although Guy Williams was of course the hot dad in 'Lost in Space' and on 'Zorro'!

R23 He was a hot DILF, too.

Those Van Williams and Bobby Conrad workout pics certainly were tantalizing. Their pr flacks knew their audience.

Kent McCord was a fave of my sister

I don't know why I found this such a sexy movie. Pat Boone, Peter Ronson, James Mason and Arlene Dahl.

I want to clarify to R2 that the fantasy of BEING a teenager who jumps into black and white fantasy TV land a la 'Pleasantville' and having consensual teenage sex play with a CHARACTER played by Tony Dow is where I was coming from, so to speak.

I ignore all threads about unspeakably awful pedo criminals because it's repugnant. Thank you. Now here's a link to more pics of legally fuckable Tony Dow. the PR media at the time knowingly presented him as a sex object and hunk.

Pat Boone had a potential that never really panned out.

R27 Pat Boone was a cute twink back then.

This is my favorite picture of Pat Boone.

Clint Walker was a clean man. Ha!

It's a shame he was only shirtless in those clips.

Not B&W but when I saw Michael Billington in a sauna from UFO I knew I was gay. I was a kid then.

R33, Michael Billington was sex on a stick. But, alas... "time, that subtle thief of youth"

Michael's clothes on UFO were super tight and left nothing to the imagination

Even though this vile bitch is the center of this Coke commercial, the bare-chested Brothers Four must've had the young gay boys fantasizing wildly back then!

Michael Billington was a contender to play James Bond.

One of the brothers looks like porn star Brian Bonds.

R36 Did they all douche with those King Size Cokes after the shoot?

Love all of these guys and lusted after them in my long ago youth, watching those silly TV series for hours on end, just hoping for the briefest glimpse of bare chest.

I would add Robert Horton to the list. Does anyone remember him from Wagon Train?

Billington was in The Spy Who Loved Me in a brief role at the start of the film.

Mark Goddard. boing oy oyer.

R42 I could lost in his space.

WE all owe JM Vincent an immense amount of gratitude for showing it all in Buster and Billie.

Burt Lancaster

I was in lust with Van WIlliams even before I had hair down there. Man, was he a HUNK! Talk about Green Horny-et!

Prime Paul

Mike Henry

More Van Williams

John Phillip Law

More Van Williams. He was perfect.

Ward Cleever was said to be horse-hung.

I admit, I don't like chicken hawks. I make fun of them the way I make fun of old men who marry 20 year old woman...grow the fuck up.

And this has WHAT to do with Van Williams, prisspot R53?

Some of you posters here: what part of "in glorious black and white" don't you understand?

I prefer "black in white!"

I'd run me a country mile to bone a young Harry Belafonte!

It's all about Bobby

You had a good chance of getting George Maharis.

I have always loved Van Williams, going back to watching him on Surfside 6 on my portable b&w TV but it doesn't compare to seeing the color shirtless photos of him with his jet black hair (up there and down there) and green eyes.

Pat Boone for LIFE magazine:

Dr. Ben Casey.

Imagine this lying on top of you...

Pat Boone has an ass?

Pat Boone IS an ass.

My grandmother was a Tyrone Power fan and I was certainly content to watch him with her.

R42 wins. Mark Goddard was ALL THAT. Fuck, yes.

Around the corner lived my great aunt and she was into the he-man in gladiators, peplums, and Tarzan etc so there were always hunks on over there. Steve Reeves. Gordon Scott. etc

I'm 36 so I didn't lust after him in real time, but last winter I discovered a show called "Bachelor Father" starring [bold]William Forsythe[/bold] on Antenna TV. Before that, the only thing I had ever seen him in was "The Trouble With Harry" (in color).

I loved watching repeats of My Three Sons while eating breakfast before school in the morning. I loved Don Grady as Robbie Douglas. He was hot and always seemed one loud noise away from losing his temper and taking it out on you.

That was [bold]John[/bold] Forsythe, R68.

R68 has never heard of a little show called "Dynasty?" He needs to turn in his gay card.

Somehow I knew Robbie of "My Three Sons" was the only son I cared about.

I have a gay card, R71, and I hated Dynasty.

I liked Tim Considine on M3S; he left too soon. He's the one at the top.

I got my first boner watching Lloyd Bridges in Sea Hunt.

R8, Hugh's chest was a blanket of fur. He married for the first time at 81 in 2006, Mrs. O'Brian was 54. They're still together. Debbie Reynolds sang at the wedding.

When Steve Elliott showed up on "Petticoat Junction" with those tight khakis and that deep singing voice...I knew I wanted to take a ride in his airplane even though I was only a boy...

Brandon De Wilde!!

Thanks, R70.

I have heard of Dynasty, R71, but I have never watched it.

Hugh Marlowe was beautiful.

Steve Elliott was the character's name on Petticoat Junction. Real name Mike Minor. I remember him and was in love with him.

Me too R72

R61 That's one hot fuckable ass.

We've done this before ;-) ... but for me it was Joel Crothers on Dark Shadows when the show started in B&W.

His Joe Haskell was sooooo HOT!

And when the show went to color, it made things worse, because his time-travel character, Nathan Forbes, wore that Revolutionary War uniform with the britches, so his schlong was on display.

R67 I'm into those films right now but I wasn't born back then. Steve Reeves is perfection

Chuck Connors

Chuck Connors played for both the Dodgers and Celtics before becoming an actor.

Call me crazy but I always had a huge crush on Max (Jethro Bodine) Baer Jr. I wish he'd branched out and made some films that showed off some of his bare physique.

You're not crazy R89 he was hot...

Agreed R89/90

I don't care what anyone says, Tony Dow is and will always be my boy crush. Nice guy, athlete, and the big brother? You can fap to porn stars all you like, I still think clean cut nice guys are where it's at.

Richard Jaeckel was really hot in Come Back Little Sheba.

I would enjoy being mounted by John Garfield.

Richard Jaeckel was the quintessential twink in "Guadalcanal Diary," his character aptly nicknamed "Chicken."

Datalounge has undergone a little N-a-m-b-l-a invasion. I wonder if OP is the same person as the one who created the thread below, or if they're just card carrying members of the same group.

To be fair, while OP is a pedo, that's not the only perversion he has.

Fuck all this barely legal,hairless bullshit....let's get back to the MEN!

Ambassador John Gavin.

In keeping with the hairy-chested,Hitchcock hunks who I would have happily let FUCK my ass..... Mr. Rod Taylor.

Gardner McKay from "Adventures in Paradise"

Not really known today but John Hodiak had a rakish,distinctive look and cagey personality that I didn't really appreciate when I was a little younger but I totally feel it now.

Very sexy.....especially in Hitchcock's Lifeboat.

Robert Ryan was very sexy in a menacing,slightly psychotic way. When he wore that contemptuous,seething sneer one could never be sure if you were about to be bludgeoned to death or receive the best fucking of your life.

Sterling Hayden also projected "contempt" very effectively....great stern daddy top potential.

Robert Conrad looks TINY in R25's pic. It's funny, many of these actors you always thought were so "big" and "muscular" were often just short guys with really low body fat percentages who lifted a barbell once a week and who happened to be smart enough to rarely be filmed next to truly muscular, tall guys. Today, you see this shit on Instagram all the time. These guys who post tons of shirtless selfies who look incredibly ripped and muscular. Then, once in a while they slip in a photo of them standing with their (normally sized) friends and you realize that they're just pocket size gays who benchpress 30 lbs. For actors, I guess it makes sense, having a low body fat % makes you look all sharp and sculpted on a well lit soundstage.

R104 Robert Conrad was tiny. IMDb puts his height at 5'8", but there is enough photographic evidence and people recording personal encounters with him that put his height at closer to 5'6" or slightly under. On WWW, they'd put him in those "Cuban" heeled boots (more than likely with lifts).

True enough about height--except for Sterling Hayden (above), who was over six feet tall. Also, in his very early Hollywood period, before the war, he was somewhat gymmed up. He does a lot of Bahama Passage shirtless (and it's in color), and he's really something, though a truly wooden non-actor. After war service, he made a comeback having figured moviemaking out, and became very persuasive in tough-guy roles, with a masculine, dangerous presence that is truly mesmerizing.

This is anecdotal, but I do video nights with Chelsea Boys who typically know very little about old Hollywood and only like conventionally big-muscled guys of the modern sort. They challenged me to produce a film with a man who would tilt the room in a gay bar. Gable and others such they thought unworthy, till I showed them one of Hayden's ear;ly-fifties caper films. They found him stunning, a daddy for all seasons.

Dennis Morgan had such a sweet,shayna punim and radiated warmth and kindness onscreen.

And quite the fuckable bod.

Montgomery Clift

Though Van Heflin was by no stretch of the imagination a great beauty if given half a chance in 1945 I would have been on my knees so God. Damned. fast......

We would wager that Miss Maharis' culo has seen a lot of traffic in the past 60 plus years!

Funny how tastes change because when I was in my early 20s a guy who was a dead ringer for a young John Wayne tried to pick me up in a bar and never really having been attracted to "The Duke" I turned him down.

Now I realize how wrong I was...so VERY wrong.

Jack Larson (George Reeves' TV Jimmy Olsen) had a thing with R108's Monty

Serial star Buster Crabbe

More obscure serial star Kane Richmond from the slightly politically incorrect Lost City.

I agree about Robert Fuller -- and while I think homoerotic is often misused not so in the case of Laramie. They were practically a married couple and the director definitely liked to objectify them.

Ed Fury

Where does John Payne fit in all of this??

Put me down for a Mark Goddard and a Monty Cliff, please!!!

And yes, to #116 above, John Payne is one of the reasons I look forward to watching Miracle On 34th Street every year!!

R96/R97 is projecting. Everyone in these pictures is 75 if they're a day.

[quote]Where does John Payne fit in all of this??

Right up my ass Santa!

R115.

I think we can do better than that.

Cheesy,campy yet still SO irresistibly sexy.

Wow, never saw that photo before. I wouldn't mind having Buster's Crabbes....

Steve Cochran

Here's a young Richard Long, the DILF actor on "The Big Valley." I would've boned both versions of him.

George Nader

A gorgeous actor from the silent era and beyond - George O'Brien. See him in the classic "Sunrise" and I promise you'll fall in love with him. Such a beautiful man.

Actor/future Ambassador John Gavin was signed to play James Bond in "Diamonds are Forever"

After Gavin was signed the producers were able to get Sean Connery to commit to the role one last time.

The producers paid actor John Gavin in full (which they had to do since he had a signed contract)

The Top Five: Robert Conrad. Buster Crabbe. George Nader. Van Williams. John Phillip Law.

Mr. Ed

[quote]A gorgeous actor from the silent era and beyond - George O'Brien. See him in the classic "Sunrise" and I promise you'll fall in love with him. Such a beautiful man.

I had never Sunrise and did not know of George O'Brien. I was blown away by his sexy dreamy beauty in that film. He pops right off of the screen.

Here he is in Noah's Arc (1928). While everything around him looks dated, he appears contemporary. Yes, what a beautiful man.

Interesting that so many of the gorgeous hunks who we've witnessed grow into old fogeys have not been mentioned, at least not yet:

Tony Curtis

Richard Chamberlain

Robert Wagner

Tab Hunter

even Rock Hudson

R131 I was going to mention Tab Hunter, and even at age 84, I think he's a handsome guy for his age. From July 2015.

Who's that with Tab, R132?

I remember seeing a very young Ray Milland in a 1930's comedy soaping up in a bathtub, very nice chest. Couldn't find an image of it, so here's his portrait from that time.

R133 His partner of 30+ years, Allan Glaser.

He's cute. Thanks, R135 R132.

Yes to Richard Chamberlain

Is it me or does Richard look like Prince in this photo?

IIRC, Ben Casey and Dr. Kildare started the same year. My mother was into Ben. I was into Dick. I almost got into fights with her over them because "Dick is so much better looking than Vince." Somehow, I managed never to blurt that out, but how she could come up with "We had NO idea" when they found out I was gay in the following decade I never understood.

Yes, R138. Or some French twink whose name I don't recall.

Let's not forget confirmed bachelors Richard Chamberlain...

Tab Hunter...

Anthony Perkins

While not a "hunk" I've always found his boyish, beta looks very appealing.

and George Chakiris

Christopher Mitchum. Son of Robert Mitchum. To this day if Big Jake or Rio Lobo air on tv, I will watch.

Froggies Jean Marais...

Delon...

and Belmondo

Poor Tab and Tony. To squelch the leaking rumors of their romance, Paramount made them go out on a double date with young actresses, Jan Charney & Norma Moore. The foursome were photographed together at the Ice Follies solely for the benefit of the press.

Don't they look like they're having "fun."

Victor Mature...

Tab Hunter took this picture of Tony Perkins in Hunter's apartment, 1958. Pre or post coital?

Re: Dennis Morgan. I love the moment in "Christmas in Connecticut" when he and Barbara Stanwyck see each other for the first time. They both convey pure lust at first sight!

Oh, he's gettin' ready, R151. Of course, it could be the second time.

Jack LaLanne on the right.

Still think Clint blows the rest of 'em straight to hell.

Let's try again here.

Cheyenne was on one of the antenna stations last and I caught a few of the episodes. He was stunning in looks, had a great voice, and had a bit of charisma, but the character he played was such a boring, humorless, drip. I know TV leads/heroes back then were pretty white hat with not many shades of gray, but Cheyenne seemed to have very little personality and a bit of a wet blanket that went out of his way not to have any fun.

I do think Walker is perfect for this thread however.

Do we know anything about CW? Many years ago, he picked up a hitchhiking Ledermeister (super-hot Colt model), but I don't remember now how the story went. Maybe CW just had a habit of picking up hitchhikers. The good-looking ones.

Yeah, R157, just what WAS Cheyenne's damage anyway?

Some of the lyrics in the theme song gave a hint, if I remember correctly.

"Cheyenne, Cheyenne.

Where will you be sleeping tonight?

Lonely man, Cheyenne..."

Clint Walker fantasy nude.....just for the hell of it.

Obscure actor Ralph Taeger starred in three short-lived tv shows in the 60s...but is largely forgotten today. If you've ever watched reruns of "Hondo" you might ask yourself "how could anyone forget such adorable dimples and a hot hairy chest like that"?

You bitches can have your pretty boys! Give me a REAL MAN! Ernest Borgnine!

Hey R162, I'm down for some hairy, cobby-bodied character actor type sex now and again.

Aldo Ray...

More Aldo...

Aldo Ray took a nonsexual part in the hardcore '70s fuck flick [italic]Sweet Savage[/italic] after his career went to shit. Even though he kept his clothes on, he got star billing along with the leads.

Sean Connery

Sean Connery and Chopper Howlett

James Franciscus in "Youngblood Hawke" (1964).

James Franciscus was one of my first crushes as a wee gayling when he played sexy blind guy Mike Longstreet.

R130 - Yes, exactly! When I saw George O'Brien in Sunrise, I thought he looked like a could be a movie star today. He had the kind of beauty that just transcends time. I couldn't keep my eyes of him, either. Look at this picture of him from Sunrise - Janet Gaynor looks like she should be in a movie made in 1927, but George looks like he came out of a movie that was made today!

R164 My favorite Aldo Ray picture.

How about vintage Chad Everett, folks? Look at the bulge!

R115 More of that hot hunk Ed Fury

Doug McClure (the Virginian actually had a few actors who were easy on the eyes).

Montgomery Clift and John Ireland compare their... guns. Do you think the director knew EXACTLY what he was doing, or was the homoeroticism unintended?

Barry Bostwick

Waaaaait a minute, r158 -- what's the story about Ledermeister and Clint Walker??

George Peppard

I would venture to say that Guy Madison was the very first male movie star who was sold purely on his sexy young face and body, much like a pin-up girl. There were dozens of shots of him bare-chested (or less) in his films and in all of the movie magazines.

Though there had been sexy young male movie stars who preceded him, e.g. Tyrone Power, Robert Taylor, etc. they were not sold to the public with beefcake photos. Well, perhaps George O'Brien was the exception.

Dumb question, perhaps, but why did all these stars from yesteryear pose for nude photos? Not that I mind.

Not a dumb question at all R181 I was wondering the same thing.

Just a guess, R181 R182, but the fact that the pics weren't as widely distributed thenadays may have something to do with it.

I suspect the reason a lot of starlets did the same thing back then. They were trying to get their start and thought it was a way to open the door or it was simply a check when they needed money for food and rent and there were not a lot of roles their way. Many of the nude pics were of people who never really were considered great actors and their careers were based largely on their looks.

The objectification of Guy Madison might have been novel at the time, but wasn't it more common in the silent movies and even into the early 30s? I think Valentino was definitely treated as an object and if I remember correctly there are some early beefcake shots of Gary Cooper and even some of John Wayne. I suppose Madison did take it to a new level of how many posed and/or barechested shots were taken and put into magaizines.

184 posts in and no vintage "Shat"?

You bitches ARE slipping!

Ryan O'Neal

[quote]I would venture to say that Guy Madison was the very first male movie star who was sold purely on his sexy young face and body, much like a pin-up girl.

George O'Brien was probably the first. While other actors were appearing bare chested in swashbuckler roles he was appearing topless in romantic scenes. Here's a publicity shot from "Fig Leaves" (Howard Hawks 1926). This would be considered risque today nearly 90 years later.

I think Cooper had the most romantic, sensuous face of the era.....

and the biggest cock from what I'VE read.

It's very rare to find such a handsome,masculine looking guy who can also project humanity,sadness and vulnerability.

Gary Cooper looks incredibly handsome in the clips from this silent film. I don't usually find the silent film actors attractive but Gary was gorgeous.

I don't think young Gary Cooper or young John Wayne ever posed shirtless or in a bathing suit for publicity photos that weren't in context to costuming they wore in a film but I'd love to be proved wrong.

Guy Madison, OTOH.

Has anyone seen TRUMBO? TV hunk David James Elliot is all muscled up portraying John Wayne in it and looks spectacular. And does a credible imitation of The Duke.

[quote]I would venture to say that Guy Madison was the very first male movie star who was sold purely on his sexy young face and body,

You may be right....watching Guy's film debut in the WW2 tearjerker "Since You Went Away" it's obvious the director/studio/ intended to launch him as a heart throb/leading man but he's presented in such a filtered, passive,angelic and homoerotic way it's almost as if they are trying to appeal to a secret gay audience instead of bobby soxers...of course he was a Henry Wilson "discovery" so that's entirely plausible.

I don't know if Guy was gay but he sure projects it in this scene... there also seems to be some curious bisexual threesome energy between Jennifer Jones, Robert Walker and Madison.

The Man Who Invented Rock Hudson, about Henry Wilson, is one of the best Hollywood books ever.

[quote]184 posts in and no vintage "Shat"?

SCAT THREAD! I knew it! Editor, please ban, red-tag, and kill R184 posthaste!

Guy Madison's son Roberto is a popular actor on Italian TV.

r145, one day Chris Mitchum will make it to Congress.

R188, he looks like a young Jerry Sandusky.

OP is vile. Such a loser. Go find a bridge and jump, creep.

R78, That's an unexpectedly nice bulge on Brandon De Wilde.

Any rumours of the homo-sex and George O'Brien?

Brian Kelly..the dad on Flipper.

R193 Minor correction: his name is actually spelled "Willson."

As a kid I used to watch a lot of westerns on Saturday afternoons: Big Valley, Bonanza, The Rifleman, Alias Smith and Jones and this one which a lot of people don't seem to remember: Lancer. I liked the guy on the right.

I remember used to be on the USA Network -- they had Sunday night westerns, including Wanted Dead or Alive and I think that might have been where I saw the Virginian. I think that was when USA still considered itself a sports network. They also played videos on Saturday night. There selection was a little more off beat than NBC's Friday Night Videos and TBS's Night Tracks.

That should read "I remember Lance used to be ...." above.

Sterling Hayden looks ridiculously handsome. He'd have made a great daddy top. Clint Walker is just pure sex.

R96, who cannot abide male sexuality because it is so "dirty."

The nasty-minded cunts around here need to be hooked by the gape and heaved out.

Well, they weren't in black and white and boning was not really an issue, but….

And here's R198.

Chuck Connors and Johnny Crawford always presented such an idealized father/son relationship. I was envious growing up and watching reruns. For homophobes and men-haters who always scream that any depiction of paternal affection somehow suggests impropriety to their disturbed minds, the show was a tonic for a affectionate depiction of a healthy relationship.

Although I did seem that there were a few too many scenes of Johnny being kidnapped by his father's enemies and invariably tied up.

The "silent movie love" from R190's post reminded me of this scene from Wings.

... gave good face

Gary Cooper, age 27, Half a Bride (1928).

[quote]Although I did seem that there were a few too many scenes of Johnny being kidnapped by his father's enemies and invariably tied up.

Chuck ended up tied up a bit as well. 1960's TV liked their heroes in bondage.

The dad went blind a lot too.

"1960's TV liked their heroes in bondage."

So did I.

As for Gary Cooper….

Coop! Gay-Ree Cooper!

Robert Fuller and Robert Crawford, Johnny's brother, in LARAMIE.

Those Crawford boys were well assimilated into straight male culture!

R215 LOL! .. How many times did Robert Conrad get put tied up, or strung up, in bondage scene on the Wild Wild West? .. I'm sure that's where my fasciantion with men's armpits comes from.

Aldo Ray shirtless in a steamy scene with Tina Louise...

Gary Cooper had an incredibly modern face... he looks like a Bruce Weber model in those silent movies. One of the most gorgeous men ever.

Robert Fuller was the original "McSteamy" on Emergency

1950s Peter Graves sure was pretty. In Night of the Hunter even though his character is miserably doomed from the start I want to see him naked. This is the only picture I could find of him showing some skin from Beneath the 12 Mile Reef (1953) with Robert Wagner and Terry Moore. He only got hotter into middle age in the 60s/70s and still looked good until his death in 2010.

Tom Hennessy - a movie stunt man - says that he was offered a part in The Ten Commandments by Associate Producer-Actor Henry Wilcoxin....in return for a favor. Tom said no....

Clint had been the doorman at a Hollywood night club, and Tom assumes he got the part in TTC the way it was offered to him.

Tom also did some doubling work for Van Johnson in The Caine Mutiny. Johnson kept hanging around the tall red-haired Hennessy, and he eventually invited him for a nice dinner while the company was on location. Tom said no, but he intimates that Walker wasn't so hesitant.

Of course Tom's wife divorced him and married CLINT WALKER, so who know?

Tom Hennesy, r224? DADDY!

R200 George O'Brien was married for 15 years and had two children, but divorced in 1948 and never remarried. He died in 1985. It's rumored that he got to Hollywood via men who had seen his physique photos and for whom he did certain "favors," but no solid evidence of that.

[quote]modern face

Oh, Lord.

Sterling Hayden and Robert Ryan gave the BEST brutally disdainful, demanding daddy top sneers EVAH!

Robert Ryan knew how to fuck an ass DOWN!

R201 Brian Kelly is the uncle of Broadway (and "Smash") star Brian d'Arcy James.

Don't usually go for short,pugilistic Irish types but James Cagney in some of his earlier roles makes me wanna go a few rounds with him.

For the Robert Fuller fans, the next time you watch Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, look for him among the Olympic team in Jane Russell's cabin singing Bye Bye Baby. Sadly, he's not in Jane's other big number Ain't There Anyone Here for Love? doing speedo-enhanced calisthenics with the rest of the team.

[quote]he's not in Jane's other big number Ain't There Anyone Here for Love? doing speedo-enhanced calisthenics with the rest of the team.

Well, now that you mention that scene it and since this IS the vintage b&w hunks thread here is John Weidemann ,the one whose flexing bicep Jane Russel bugs her eyes out for.

Mr. Weidemann in the film.

Mr. Weidemann in the raw.

George and Johnny...

R236 that's the look of lust

Weidemann was dreamy perfection. It's a shame he never became an actor

A different George...

I think it's after round 1 r151. He has that smiling bottom afterglow.

Joel McCrea was a amiable,All-American sort and kind of neglected today but was quite the dish in his younger incarnation. And even with the shaved pits how could one not help falling in love with that profile?

Joel was so classically handsome and timeless and I love the shape of his nose.

Like most men, Joel looked best with a little scruff.

If not for the sepia toned photography one would never know by his "look" that it was taken in 1932.

Wasn't Joel's son Jody gay?

[quote]Wasn't Joel's son Jody gay?

I don't know about that but he was certainly HOT like daddy.

He looks VERY similar to my youth pastor with whom I was secretly infatuated from when I was still a teen under the delusion of my Pentecostal upbringing.

Charles Farrell..what a cutie!

Even without the period makeup and hair many of the actresses of the 20s and 30s really wouldn't be considered "beautiful" today but most of the actors presented as handsome leading men types really WERE timelessly great looking....as much if not MORE than top actors today.

Keith Andes nude

Nice find R263.

Steve Reeves

[R263] Huh, I had NO idea Andes posed nude. I wonder if Lucy knew. His voice is glorious on the Wildcat recording. Not too long ago I watched a Lucy Show where he played a guy she was dating.

The aforementioned "slave" played by the gorgeous Tony Sansone.

You guys are amazing. I started reading this thread 30 mins ago. Found myself wanting to stop and comment on every other post. God, there is nothing like a well lit, lovingly photographed image of vintage actors from the "old days". As a kid of the 80s and 90s, this is all well before my time, so I'm really glad we have some eldergays on here to show the way. I had no idea Gary Cooper was so almost preternaturally beautiful in his early days - my GOD, those eyes. And, I love all the reminders of forgotten stars of yesteryear who, perhaps never became household names, but who definitely made an impression. Oh, and the scenes of implied or unconscious homoeroticism from older films - like in clips like R192 are so fascinating.

This is infinitely hotter than any porn shoot because so much of it requires you to use your imagination and take that next fateful step into, "what if...".

Anyway, here's my minor contribution. Farley Granger, Roddy Mcdowall and cock-blocker Jane Powell in 1953.

Sansone is hot

Here's another Italian, Mario Girotti (Terence Hill)

Hugh O'Brian

Carl Betz

Errol Flynn...

This scene is SO hot. The gorgeous Sal Mineo works out in the gym and then goes for a dip with the beautiful Juliet Prowse. From WHO KILLED TEDDY BEAR (1965).

Massimo Girotti

Massimo again

Wow, Massimo's smokin, R277! Kinda interesting how he can look almost handsome-everyday-Joe in one pic and like a smouldering sex God in the next.

Hugh Beaumont

Italian actor Raf Vallone

Raf again

Are there any good Tumblrs you guys follow for vintage sexiness like this? Ones focused more on vintage actors and models than porn stars, I mean.

A photo from Spartacus & the Ten Gladiators

Too many hunks to mention but that's Dan Vadis on Pietro Torrisi's shoulders

Two guys and girl: Fredric March, Gary Cooper, and Miriam Hopkins in "Design for Living." March and Cooper were beautiful in this. Hopkins, meh.

In the beauty department, most of these guys beat modern actors by a wide margin.

Buster Crabbe, pre production code-

Chuck Connors and son...with wood

R286 - that was fabulous. Buster Crabbe looked hot and some of those locker room extras had really nice, muscular asses. Not something one expect to see in such an old film. Any other pre-code hotness??

Charles Farrell, later

Ah, that's where I'd heard of him, R289.

I just recently watched an episode of My Little Margie on youtube in which Margie takes a modelling job and her partner is played by none other than Ed Fury. They both wear swimsuits and Ed is actually pretty funny as well as hot. I'm sure Charlie Farrell enjoyed his appearance on the show, too!

[quote]Ed is actually pretty funny as well as hot.

I have seen him in a couple of things - he seemed to have more personality and humor than many of the sword and sandal actors - much less wooden. With his face, and his build was often more natural and not over-processed, it seems like he could have had a little broader of a career and done more non-sword and sandal work,

He also seemed captured semi-regularly and more than the obligatory --have the muscle man burst the chains scene. Maybe because of his leaner build and his often clean cut face he seemed more vulnerable to being captured by the villain and kept helpless for a little longer than some of the other sword and sandal heroes.

John Ericson

Ed has VPL in his bathing trunks in that My Little Margie episode.

Before the deleterious effects of a 4 pack a day habit and enough Wild Turkey to flood your basement actor Richard Basehart was a very sexy,red-headed devil.

He has such an Irish/Welsh appearance I always assumed he was but surprisingly, he was born in Ohio.

[quote]Ed has VPL in his bathing trunks in that My Little Margie episode

That's impossible...

Mister Ed was a gelding.

We've neglected to mention a few prime hotties:

John Derek

Dana Andrews

Jeffrey Hunter

(young) Glenn Ford

(young) Gene Nelson

Fabian (yes, Fabian!)

God yes, Jeffrey Hunter! I think there was a thread devoted to him on DL a few months back.

Jeffery Hunter's one big budget role was in one of those Biblical epics. It became known as "I was a Teenage Jesus".

Robert Condra was both short and small waisted, which also contributed to his looking bigger than he was.

Dewey Martin in "The Big River." (with daddy Kirk Douglas)

I swear, those two characters were fuck buddies! Saw it a few times as a kid, and that leather/suede outfit of his got me horny!

Tab Hunter and James Dean

Joe Dallesandro

Looking at the pic at R301. reminds me what a natural little seducer James Dean was. The body language he displays hanging on the ladder is basically broadcasting to Tab Hunter that he is open, available and submissive. And Tab looks as if he's going in for the kill.

The same kind of dynamic can be seen between Dean and Paul Newman in this "East of Eden" screen test. The whole affair has a very homoerotic ambiance and Dean is very flirty and intense with his lowered head and raised eyes as he stares directly at Newman and challenges him to kiss him. Later, as Dean is performing some pretty heavy duty eye fucking Paul gets so nervous he has to giggle and look away.

Another very sexually charged screen test for "East of Eden", this time between James Dean and Richard Davalos...who would eventually be cast as Dean's brother in the film, "Aron".

James Dean never did anything for me. Very meh. Lucky he died young and created a legend before audiences quickly tired of him.

He doesn't really do it for me either but I can see the sexual energy r303/r304 is referring to.

r304 - that East of Eden screentest is so interesting. Dean definitely felt a bit rough and amateurish - but I suppose that was part of his appeal. No "actor'yness". Beyond all of the - yes - sexual chemistry between the two, I was also kinda struck by Richard Davalos himself. Never heard of him before. He was almost equally attractive as Dean, had a beautiful speaking voice and seemed to be more polished than Dean, but not overly mannered. Would love to see more of him.

I just read East of Eden last summer. I am guessing the 1950's movie did not do Cathy Ames proper justice, although I heard Jane Seymour really nailed the role in the mini-series. James Dean is not who I would have imagined as Caleb.

We had to read it for a class in high school, and the only thing that got me through it was having seen the film on Sunday afternoons and imagining Dean and the others in the main roles.

It's not in B&W but Michael Billington at 41:47...sexy!!!

Put me down for Charles Starrett, if only for his writhing, drugged, loin-clothed moments in "The Mask of Fu Manchu."

More Charles Starrett.

Ack, it didn't copy. More Charles Starrett!

If you ignore the politically incorrectness of the time Mask of Fu Manchu is a fun movie, and Myrna Loy seems like she is having a blast. And yes -- Starrett was nice as a twist on the objectified damsel in distress.

James Cagney knew the score and wasn't intimidated by it, which is a huge turn-on.

James Dean always looked like he couldn't be bothered to learn any of his lines.

James Dean was a lazy bottom.

[quote]James Dean always looked like he couldn't be bothered to learn any of his lines.

Dean came from the Brando School of Acting, where the lines are secondary to the character's motivation.

I know. Doesn't make it any less of a chore to watch.

Gilbert Roland...one of Hollywood's first "Latin Lover" types.

Charles Farrell was a homophobic, closeted right-wing reactionary. Poor Gail Storm. No wonder she drank.

And of course I meant Gale Storm.

James Dean was such a terrible actor. Maybe he would have gotten better if he had lived and worked longer, but I doubt it. He was too stuck.

George Platt Lynes model Jack Fontan had a decidedly contemporary look and attitude about him.

Apparently, sexy Jack Fontan was one of the models used in Paul Cadmus' well-known 1951 painting "The Bath".

Fontan modeled for the figure on the right.

Barbara Hale. I would have eaten that lady ham like nobody's business.

I agree with R318, R322 and everyone else who finds JDean intolerable. Maybe he would have matured like fine wine, but what we see is so overwrought and self-consciously Method. "You're tearing me a-PAAAAARRRRRT!" *cringe*

More John Payne...

John Payne had such an affable,sweet kind of handsome.

Which means he probably was a shit in reality.

Once again for Richard Chamberlain

One of my favorites from back in the day...John Bromfield. Always showed a healthy bulge whilst wearing a bathing suit.

That is the first Mr. Shirley Temple, John Agar and Lori Nelson looking past John's hands and directly at his bulge.

Mr Dimpled Chin himself, Stephen Boyd. Gawjus!

[quote]what we see is so overwrought and self-consciously Method. "You're tearing me a-PAAAAARRRRRT!" *cringe*

I think a lot of those Actor's Studio types were that way....indicating and pantomiming their emotions to the point of camp.

I find many of the pre-Method Hollywood actors like James Stewart,Van Heflin, Spencer Tracy, Henry Fonda, et al to be MUCH more naturalistic and effortless in their performances. They were stylistic but never mannered and pretentious.

When I watch some of those old Playhouse 90s I'm surprised and disappointed in how histrionic a lot of these Strassburg trained actors are.

He was so pretty it hurt. Ricky Nelson

R320, a lot of our beloved stars of yesteryear were. Just like grandma and grandpa. They were products of their time.

I'm absolutely flummoxed as to how we got 335 replies in and not ONE mention of the ULTIMATE sexy Hollywood bad boy....the divine Mr. M!

R31

"Hey girl, it's next to nothing in a box !"

R336, Mitchum was the coolest of the cool, but I never thought he was a hunk. I feel the same about McQueen. Cool, but a hunk? No. But, it's all matter of one's taste.

Ever read Boyd McDonald on Rick Nelson?

Hilarious.

R322, I remember watching an interview with Actors Studio alum Ben Gazzara, and he was asked what it was like studying with his friend and classmate James Dean. Ben simply said, "He was getting better. He was green, but he was getting better." And yet he's a legend...

What did Boyd MacDonald say about Ricky Nelson?

Rock Hudson at the glory hole he frequently visited in LA often ;O

Robert Mitchum was the ultimate hunk! Have you never seen him with MM in The River of No Return??

A young, V-shaped Mitchum in a bathing suit...

We've lost a little style in adopting the lazy-ghetto-thug-drawers look in bathing and other men's wear.

[quote]We've lost a little style in adopting the lazy-ghetto-thug-drawers look

We've lost more than that....I can barely tell it's even a male body under half those awful, baggy things.

We love baggy board shorts!

Calvin Lockhart

Actor and then novelist Tom Tryon

Best thread ever.

Cal Culver/Casey Donovan, alleged longtime lover of Tom Tryon. A legendary gay porn star.

Ed Fury again...

Ed Fury aged very nicely. Woof!

He was born in 1928...making him 87 today. I don't know how old this pic is...

R352 Hell, yes!

Ed again

Kirk Morris

Jeffrey Hunter airing out his hairy tits as the aroma from his hairy pits escapes from under his shirt.

Every time I see that damn clip of James Dean yelling "You're tearing me apaaarrtt!" I say " No. but I'd like to!"

Skip Homeier. I still don't understand why he didn't become more famous because he was a pretty good actor.

Maybe it's the name.

Bud.

Skip Homeier looked too much like Keith Andes.

Same with Richard Carlson and Hugh Marlowe.

Grant Williams

Louis Jourdan, 1939.

Alain Delon.

Way way back. Silent film superstar and sex symbol, Sessue Hayakawa, ca. 1929.

John Derek! That boxing movie was total JO material.

Lyle Waggoner was both funny and gorgeous.

If you hadn't told me that the pic in r364 was Louis Jourdan, I would have sworn it was Gardner "Gorgeous" McKay.

R303 The sexual tension between James Dean and Paul Newman was obvious in that screen test. Being that they were both bisexuals I wonder if they managed to hook up.

If you prefer the Latin lover type, how about Ricardo Montalban and Fernando Lamas?

James Craig, 40s hunk.

Another of James Craig.

R371, Ricardo Montalban was so proud of his physique that he would inevitably lose his shirt in all his films and in publicity photos.

Ricardo Montalban, unshaven

Fernando Lamas was not as buff, but he had a handsomer face.

Gilbert Roland. From his bio it seems that Grant Williams was of the fraternity.

James Best

[quote]James Best

I was a kid and the primary target audience for Dukes of Hazard. Needless to say, I was more attracted to how their jeans fit than the Daisy Dukes. I remember later catching an old western and seeing a young James Best and being surprised that the handsome man in black and white was Roscoe P. Coltraine.

No idea who this is, but oh man what a fucking stud.

This guy could be a movie star today.

He could have been one yesterday too.

George Lazenby

This guy is quite the dandy.

Don Hollender

This serious looking dude

Tony Sansone

This Italian soldier. You can name him.

Bruno

This stud on the left is hot.

Other than the huge ears his guy is smoking hot

snazzy socks

checking for lice?

I'd do the guy on the left and the guy on the right.

nice boots

great eyes

guy on the left sort of looks like Tom Cruise

R391

He looks like a younger Richard Gere.

Probably the best thread ever on Datalounge...

It's a thrill....

...To shop Congo-Leopoldville

I loved him.

George O Brian

These guys

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Are we sure that R174 isn't Scotty Bowers at one of his bartending gigs, where he used his special swizzle stick to mix drinks?

Ron Ely in Tarzan

There are nudes of Tony Dow (Wally) out there OP.

R409 — Where? Where?

Guy Madison

There’s a balls joke in R403 's pic, but damned if I can think of it.

Gilbert Roland: WOOF.
